last weekend was a BLAST!
This past weekend, my Aunt Sue came to visit! This is the first time she has been to our house and Maggie was so excited to be hostess! She took Aunt Sue on the grand tour and provided colorful details of all the many upgrades that have recently taken place. The first stop was the Scare Crow... this fella was created at Maggie's request...she LOVES him!!!
He is constructed of PVC and stuffed with real "itchy" hay! He is a lot of fun to have around and will be a constant in our front yard, hopefully for many Halloween's to come...

This is the most recent picture of the family...and the scare crow is completely in the picture

Here is Aunt Sue with both James and Maggie...we had to round up James (outside=playtime)
On Saturday, following a yummy breakfast at a local diner, we ventured to the park for some fun in the sun. This is a playground at one of our local FD and we played for a couple of hours all to our self. Three slides and lots of things to climb...and this cool kid has no fear!
You see I can do this, even with my shades on...
Here I go...watch me, mama!
Aaaaahhhhh....

Pumpkins...
We visited a pumpkin patch hosted by a local church. We always get great pumpkins and the money helps fund mission trips for the youth. I love a great cause! So, we spent just short of an hour at the pumpkin patch; looking at the pumpkins, hugging the pumpkins, picking them up and putting them down somewhere else, and of course taking our pictures. We finally decided on four pumpkins...a big one, a medium one and then James and Maggie each picked out the one they wanted...here are some pictures from the adventure.
Pumpkin Hugs
This one is all alone, can we take it home?
Happy Pumpkins!!!
Finally a "good" picture, together...

City Mice or Country Mice...
We went to vist Nanny & Paw Paw in the "land before time". James and Maggie can run and play...pick up rocks and acorns...and when it is time to leave, they are both sleeping before we hit the highway!
Love it down there...

officially...
THIRTY!
My Husband...did not want this day to come.
He thought he would be "old"...
(thanks dear, considering I have been thirty for 2 years now, I appreciate you reinforcing the "OLD" factor)
I attempted to surprise him with Friends, Food and Cake!
(the cake tasted MUCH better than it LOOKED...Weird Banner)
He finally allowed me to take this picture...I have 15 of him
His friends (Twan and Mc...names changed to protect the "UNDER 30") really surprised him with this Banjo.
(this is the first "at the moment" shot I have ever captured, it is priceless)
He has been wanting one for Y-E-A-R-S, but would not get one...
he claims he cannot play (fib, he can play anything).
I think I have a lot of Banjo listening in my future...no worries, I am sure it will be fabulous!
Thirty Year Old!

Where have we been?!?!?!
First...I am sorry we have been away for so long. We have been busy around our house and then with Football...it is just go, go, go! However, during this fun we did manage to pick up our photos from our 2yr photo shoot. Here are just a few for you to enjoy!
They have officially been back in school for 7 weeks and we are LOVING it!! We have super great teachers that really love the kiddos and teach them lots of songs. We know the alphabet and all the sounds of the letters (this they learned from the Leap Frog Letter Factory), we can sing the Alabama Fight song, and we know the Fifty States song. We know our shapes and colors and we still eat veggies! Mama is completely biased and thinks they are the smartest 2yr olds. We are even helping in the kitchen with setting the table for dinner...
They are still sleeping in our cribs...I think, we will be in twin beds by CHRISTmas. Definitely need to plan around a holiday so, we can have the time to loose a little sleep if necessary. I have been contemplating some of the shared spaces ideas and think we will have to make up our own.
Please know that all of our followers have been missed and we promise not to stay away so long in the future. In fact, check back later this week...we are building a Scarecrow for the yard this weekend!
